      It is interes ng to note that the  tle of the film, Noumenon, is a philosophical
      word which  has a  classical  meaning  from Greek philosophy and a  newer
      meaning from the German philosopher Kant. If we accept the classical Greek
      meaning of the word used specifically by Plato, then the following describes
      the word’s meaning. Plato claimed there were two realms. One, the inferior
      realm,  is  the  material,  physical  world  perceived  through  the  senses  (eyes,
      ears, nose, tongue and skin). He called this material realm the phenomenal
      world  where  there  are  temporary,  material  objects  that  can  be   perceived
      with our limited senses of percep on. The other, the superior realm is the
      world of the immaterial, the spiritual world of reali es not accessible to the
      body’s limited senses. Plato called it the noumenal world because it could not
      be perceived with the gross material senses of the body. It could be under-
      stood with a superior intellect that was completely free of mundane illusion.

      Plato claimed that all the forms we perceive in this material world are merely
      imperfect and temporary, shadow reflec ons of perfect, eternal forms in the
      superior realm. Only a person who is completely liberated from “the cave of
      illusion,”  where  there  are  only  shadow  reflec ons  of  forms,  can  come  out
      into the light of pure knowledge and see the real, eternal forms. If we accept
      this  Platonic  defini on  of  the  word  noumenon,  then  Armin’s  depic on  of
      what happened six thousand years ago on Mount Ararat becomes plausible.

      The priestly council of the world’s elite sages sit in council and decide “to de-
      stroy  the  cuneiform  tablets  that  contain  esoteric  knowledge  and  guidance
      with regard to accessing an alternate universe/reality. Then a young priest,
      named  Menua,  and  a  few  others  are  chosen  to  receive  the  supreme
      knowledge of enlightenment and they cons tute a select elite for the secret
      knowledge. A aining the alternate universe or reality is very similar to Plato’s
      superior realm populated with eternal, perfect forms. Thus, the Vetz Hazaria
      was  a  book  of  ancient  wisdom  that  revealed  how a sincere person  could
      a ain eternal life in a state of perfect harmony with God in the spiritual world
      where eternity, bliss and ever- increasing love are experienced. It also con-
      tained  prac cal  knowledge  of  this  world  by  which  an  enlightened person
